A 36-year-old Whitehall Township woman lost control of her car and struck the guide rail on eastbound Route 22 Sunday morning, causing unspecified injuries that sent her to the hospital, according to police.

Sarah K. Pearse was trying to exit Route 22 onto Route 33 southbound just after 9 a.m. when her car left the travel lane and struck the barrier on the right side of the exit ramp, state police at Belfast said.

She was taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital-Muhlenberg with unspecified injuries of unknown severity, police said. A hospital spokeswoman had no immediate information on her condition.

Pearse will be charged with failing to drive at a safe speed, police said.
